Are you in the market for an energy-saving and flexible HVAC system upgrade? Ductless mini-split systems could be what you're looking for. Our skilled technicians and installers are ready to help you in picking the most suitable mini-split system for your home. And when it's time to proceed with installation, we guarantee a seamless and expert fit.

Different from standard furnaces that require ductwork, mini-split systems function similarly to heat pumps. This configuration involves a direct link between the indoor and outdoor parts of your system. Choosing a well-installed mini-split system can bring a variety of benefits to homeowners, including:

  • Different designs enable versatile installation: A unique element of a mini-split’s design is how many options you have for simple installation needs for a number of different areas. Whether you prefer units mounted on the wall, cassettes recessed into the ceiling or something sleeker, mini-splits offer the versatility you need.
  • Affordable system costs: Traditional HVAC systems can be expensive to install and maintain, especially when dealing with ductwork installation. Mini-splits on the other hand, can be installed discreetly where they’re needed most. For many installation projects, this means lower overall costs for installation labor.
  • Higher energy efficiency: Mini-splits are intended to deliver accurate and localized heating or cooling. Controlling each zone independently means energy is only used where it’s necessary. This means you can minimize energy wasted sending climate control to rooms you aren’t actively using, unlike traditional ductwork systems.

Individually Zoned Mini-Split Units vs. Multi-Zone Systems

When choosing the best mini-split system, keep in mind that single-zone mini-splits are suited for specific areas, whereas multi-zone systems enable independent climate control across multiple spaces of your home.

Determining the Best Locations for Mini-Split Installation: Different Types and Their Advantages

The location of your mini-split system is crucial for peak performance. Below are several ways you can install mini-splits along with their benefits:

  • Wall Mounted: These units are straightforward to install and are a cost-effective option. Wall-mounted mini-splits ensure even air distribution for both heating and cooling.
  • Floor Mounted: Ideal in situations where installation on the wall or ceiling won’t work.
  • Ceiling Cassette: Ceiling units are ideal for wide coverage. They're generally installed to integrate smoothly with your ceiling's appearance.
  • Concealed Duct: Invisible when installed, concealed duct mini-splits provide total flexibility. They are highly effective for homes with multiple spaces or lots of square footage, delivering a clean look with powerful performance.

Account for the system’s size, the property’s layout and other specific HVAC needs of your home when comparing mini-split systems. A local expert like the technicians at Farris Heating & Air has the knowledge of each brand’s features to help you choose that much faster.
